Tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood in Nyon, a ten-minute walk from the train station and downtown, this 1932 single-family home immediately captivates with its character.
Its ochre-colored facades, its wooden shutters, and its arched windows give it a unique character, a far cry from the region’s typical standardized buildings.
Inside, the house is bright and welcoming.
The upper ground floor is organized around a spacious entry hall leading to a kitchen and a 37 sqm living room that opens onto three sides: two doors open directly onto the terrace and the southeast-facing garden, while large windows let in light from the northeast and southwest.
Upstairs, the master bedroom features a walk-in closet, an en-suite bathroom, and access to the balcony.
The major highlight of this property is its lower level, which was fully renovated in 2009 and features a separate entrance. It includes a kitchenette, two rooms that can be used as bedrooms, and a bathroom.
The property sits on a flat, tree-lined, and partially fenced lot of 545 sqm, complete with a carport, several parking spaces, and a storage shed.
Ready to move into as-is, the house also offers significant potential for appreciation: interior renovations will bring it up to current standards, and zoning regulations allow—subject to public review—the addition of an extra story.

This is a charming property in need of renovation, located in a quiet neighborhood very close to downtown Nyon and the train station.
Although habitable as-is, interior updates are recommended to bring it up to modern standards.
In addition, the lot offers potential for expansion with a significant amount of building rights.
